Topic: spatial reorientation

To flexibly navigate environments the brain must continuously update its sense of direction and position through the integration of vision and self-motion cues. Yet, it remains unclear how visual cues update spatial codes throughout the brain. One useful approach to examine this relationship is during reorientation, wherein a conflict between internal and external sense of direction and position is resolved. Recent work has shown that reorientation of head direction representation in the anterior dorsal thalamic nucleus (ADN), which functions as a ring-attractor, occurs at a variable temporal
